MUSD Annual Grant

The Milpitas Community Education Foundation (MCEF) is pleased to introduce the MUSD annual grant based on the distributions of its endowment. We are pleased to announce that a $10,000 budget is available for grants for the 2024-25 school year. The investment manager reviews the endowment's performance each year and determines the budget. While this is not guaranteed, the goal is an annual grant of $10,000.

Applicants may apply for both the VEDA Grant and the MCEF Grant, but only one grant will be awarded to an applicant if they win.
